Teen Challenge Centers have sprung up in Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas and Toronto, and Wilkerson has a work farm for male addicts in Pennsylvania and a home for females in Rhinebeck, N.Y. His board of directors includes Tiffany Board Chairman Walter Hoving, Combined Insurance Co. of America President W. Clement Stone. Wilkerson has his critics, among them some of the most eminent narcotics specialists in the U.S. "Sure, he'll cure a few who are motivated by a religious fervor," says Dr. Robert Baird of New York's Haven Clinic. "But what...
...York's 30,000 junkies, 15,000 to 20,000 live in Harlem. "I was just born black, poor and uneducated, and you only need three strikes all over the world to be out, and I have nothing to live for but this shot of dope," says one addict. But the habit is costly: $1 for a marijuana "reefer," $3 for a "bag" (a single grain of heroin), $5 for a "deck" (three grains).

Later the diagnosis changed; the real rock addict was pronounced a "rhythmic obedient" whose craving for the big beat was only the expression of his frustrated wish to obey mother. Such findings were hardly helpful to the record industry in its search for a solid money-making groove. And then a new type of rock song began to climb...
...white creatures spit bullets in Mr. Charlie's small Southern town. Baldwin's battle of the races pits Lyle Britten (Rip Torn), a poor-white grocery-store keeper, against Richard Henry (Al Freeman Jr.), an ex-dope addict recently returned from New York and the son of the local Negro pastor. Both men are deformed spirits, the white envenomed by poverty, the Negro by hatred of his father and his father's compromises with oppression. Arrogant, mocking, indefensible in his behavior, Henry humiliates Britten in front of Britten's wife. The white man demands an apology...
